To some people, “take it alllll off baybeh” could conjur images of some stuff that has a PG rating. (hurhurhur gutter mind). To me, it reminds me of my nose. And its accompanying blackheads. And how it’s time for me to take them all off.

Yes yes, I know that the Kao Biore Pore pack strips are abrasive and bad for my skin. But seriously, who doesn’t get that awesome thrill outta seeing the harvest of icky little black/whiteheads? I guess I try to make some sort of amends for this guilty little pleasure by applying pore-tightening products after.

Innisfree Green Persimmon Pore Pad (40 pads) – KRW15,000

Here’s the official spiel for the Green Persimmon Pore range of products:

Formulated with green persimmon to help tighten and minimize enlarged pores as it controls excessive sebum.

You’re supposed to store this in the fridge to enhance the efficacy of the pore pads. This is definitely a must in my country, considering the fact that Singapore averages 30 degrees celsius these days ugh.
